7 Fern Avenue Epsom, Auckland City

Elevated high on the hillside and tucked quietly down a private driveway, this beautifully updated art deco residence captures truly breathtaking, uninterrupted views stretching across the Manukau Harbour, the Waitemata Harbour and the majestic Waitakere Ranges beyond. Rare, sweeping and ever-changing, the outlook is the undeniable hero - best enjoyed from the expansive covered deck that feels suspended above the landscape.

Set on a generous 1,151sqm freehold title with approx. 245sqm of floor area, the home offers both space and sanctuary in a peaceful, private setting. Built in the 1930s of solid concrete construction, it was designed to stand the test of time. Architecturally striking, its graceful curves and classic art deco detailing create an immediate sense of character and individuality. There is warmth and nostalgia here, thoughtfully refined with modern comforts and positioned within one of Auckland's most blue-chip neighbourhoods in the coveted double grammar zone.

The premium Morgan Cronin kitchen is beautifully appointed for both style and functionality, featuring quality appliances and excellent storage. Folding windows open seamlessly to the elevated deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow - perfect for entertaining while soaking in panoramic harbour views. The dining area also connects naturally outdoors, while the elegant living room showcases a feature fireplace and a stunning curved window that frames the landscape like living artwork.

Outside, meticulously landscaped gardens and lush lawns provide space for children to play and families to gather. A generous herb and vegetable garden adds practicality and charm, enhancing the home's ease and lifestyle appeal.

Timber floors and distinctive mouldings honour the home's art deco heritage throughout. The main living level comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a third bedroom or study - ideal for working from home. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom offer excellent flexibility for growing families, guests, or teenagers.
